On My Way Greeting Joy

Gust wheezes behind the sill, fog on pane
I accede to its drift while moonglow dies ;
This heart longs for you, but would breaths refrain
From asking suchlike thoughts, when time implies—
A goodbye ebbing, cast, by rippled gloom
That drizzles speak of broken ties,  of chill;
Nebulous in hours ashed, my nights exhume
A stygian waste trashing days,  pungent and ill.
O gruesome the maze through cloudburst —although
My  hope unbounded   bequeaths  inner peace ;
To grant evening shadow    its afterglow
Until daybreak hails new comfort of ease.

On my way greeting life, joy always wins
Even if most rainfall ends or begins.
